In the morning, when Pei Xi saw Su Ji, the first thing she asked her was why her mouth was swollen.

She was fair to begin with, so her swollen lips were very noticeable.

“I drank too much. I can’t remember,” Su Ji replied.

“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have drunk so much with you yesterday.”

Su Ji said that it was fine. She then saw Pei Xi holding a few contracts in her hands, “is there something you need from me?”

Pei Xi almost forgot about the important matter. As she spoke, she hurriedly brought Su Ji into the lounge. Meng Na and Pan Lian were already waiting inside.

Pei Xi sounded particularly excited, “yesterday’s press conference was a success. During the meeting this morning, the theme song for ‘The Billions Stars’ has been decided. We’ll leave it to the three of you! They know that you can also compose songs and lyrics, so we’ll give you the freedom to do so. You can use the company’s recording studio as you wish, but you have to finish the song before the first episode’s filming is completed!”

Yesterday’s press conference was more than a success.

The gown that Su Ji wore was selling like hotcakes.

Photos of Su Ji at the press conference were displayed everywhere in the shop.

“The Billions Stars” had not even been aired, but Su Ji had already made a name for herself with her looks.

Hearing what Pei Xi said, Meng Na was excited.

In the past, when she was still at Sky Entertainment, Chen Jing only asked to compose songs in order to save money, but there were a lot of requirements and she couldn’t unleash her creativity.

Blue Whale Entertainment did not impose any requirements except for the deadline!

Only by giving the creator full freedom could the creator bring the greatest wealth to the company!

“Don’t worry, we will not let you down!”

Su Ji also said that it was no problem.

Pan Lian could neither write lyrics nor compose music. At this moment, she knew how it felt to enjoy the reward without lifting a finger.

After meeting with Pei Xi, the three of them signed the contract and went straight to the recording studio.

“The Billion Stars” was a modern romantic drama, which was based on a novel.

To summarize the entire plot in one sentence, after the male lead fell for the female lead, his first love returned.

What an exciting plot!

Zhou Xuefang played the role of the female lead who was a substitute for the male lead’s first love.

Su Ji played the role of the male lead’s first love. She was the daughter of a wealthy family. When she was in high school, she rejected the male lead and went abroad to study. Later, when the male lead met the female lead and developed feelings for her, she returned to the country.

Based on the plot, the theme song had to be a mellow love song.

In every emotional scene, their song would be played!

The three of them sat facing each other, deep in thought.

Su Ji had a few ancient tunes at her fingertips, but none of them were suitable for a modern drama like this.

Meng Na also hummed a few tunes, but without waiting for the others to comment on it, she decided that they were bad.

After an hour of silence, someone started humming the tune of a pop song and it got stuck in their heads for the rest of the morning. They had failed their task.

Luckily, there was still plenty of time…

In the afternoon, Pei Xi looked for Su Ji, “Pei Huai is waiting for you in the car.”

“Okay,” Su Ji nodded.

Right, her appointment with Pei Huai was this afternoon.

She had to find out what had happened last night and why the corner of her mouth hurt so much.

In fact, not only did her mouth hurt, but she also dreamed of something nibbling at her neck yesterday.

Su Ji had never been injured for no reason.

She had a hypothesis, but she needed Pei Huai to confirm it.

Pei Huai’s car was parked at the same place.

After Su Ji got into the car, she saw him take out a bottle of ointment from the storage compartment.

She took a look at the label and it said “reduces swelling and relieves pain”.

She narrowed her eyes. Pei Huai indeed knew what had happened yesterday.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that her mouth hurt.

He unbuckled his seat belt and turned around to face her.

He opened the bottle and stared at the corner of Su Ji’s mouth for two seconds. Then, he lifted her chin and started to apply the ointment on her mouth.

He took the ointment from Huichun Hall before he came. Pei Song asked him why and he told him to mind his own business.

It was not surprising that he was too rough the first time. Moreover, Su Ji was provoking him.

Pei Huai applied the ointment patiently.

He spread it over and over again. When the coldness touched the red and swollen part of her mouth, Su Ji felt the pain subsided a little.

Her lips were soft and bouncy.

Su Ji froze when Pei Huai suddenly moved closer.

However, his expression was serious and did not seem to have any evil thoughts, so Su Ji did not move away.

With nowhere to look, her gaze fell on Pei Huai’s hand for a while.

His fingers were long and beautiful. Even when he was just applying the ointment, the blue veins on the back of his hand twitched.

Su Ji’s mouth was slightly open. She did not dare to breathe too hard as the two of them were too close.

Pei Huai saw that she was so reserved at the moment, and he smiled.

She was clearly very open last night…

He almost lost control.

Su Ji looked at him and asked, “do you know how I got hurt?”

Pei Huai, who was calm and collected, paused.

“Tell me the truth and I won’t be angry with you. Last night, did I…” Su Ji continued to ask.

Pei Huai pursed his lips.

That’s true, he had indeed gone a little overboard last night.

Even if her memory was hazy, she would definitely remember some parts of it. It was impossible for her to not feel anything at all.

Since she said she wouldn’t be angry…

Pei Huai was about to confess to her, but he heard Su Ji say in the next second, “did I fall down and hit my mouth on a rock?”

It must be a very hard rock, otherwise, it wouldn’t hurt so much!
